Research found that a digital, 11-minute iPad test (BioCog) identified cognitive impairment with 85–90% accuracy in primary care patients

Flavoured sugar-free drinks taste sweet because the brain merges smell and taste signals early in the insula, a brain region known as the taste cortex, before the signals reach the frontal cortex…

A three-minute brainwave test can detect memory problems linked to Alzheimer’s disease long before people are typically diagnosed, raising hopes that the approach could help identify those most likely to benefit from new drugs for the condition.

Study found that joyful music alleviated carsickness the most, reducing it by 57.3%, very closely followed by soft music, at 56.7%

Post-mortem tissue from people with Alzheimer's Disease revealed that those who lived in areas with higher concentrations of fine particulate matter in the air even just one year had more severe accumulation of amyloid plaques -hallmarks of Alzheimer's pathology compared to those with less exposure

Cannabis compounds THC and cannabidiol (CBD) have opposing effects on brain function—and combining the two produces more muted changes than THC alone, finds new neuroimaging study in rats to compare how these cannabis-derived compounds alter patterns of communication and blood flow in the brain.

Harvard scientists pinpoint how sleep stabilizes memory in fascinating neuroscience breakthrough

AI can detect and interpret social situations between people from images and videos almost as reliably as humans, and even more consistently than just a single person

During sleep, the brain produces growth hormone to help build muscle and bone and reduce fat, a research in mice reveals the brain circuits that regulate growth hormone release and a brainstem feedback mechanism that promotes wakefulness after a good night’s sleep

Scientists fed people a milkshake with 130g of fat to see what it did to their brains

For over 20 years, scientists have been studying how mothers’ brains respond to viewing their own infant

Research shows the MIND diet appears to protect aging brains from dementia-related degeneration
